I've fetched the newest CVS and compiled under Solaris 5.8. Works fine for
me. No problems.
Could you please check/try:
1. you also have the newest sysdep.c, i.e. should contain
#ifndef VMS
#include <sys/file.h>
#endif /* not VMS */
2. check if /usr/include/sys/file.h contains a define for FASYNC
3. run configure and then rebuild
BTW this patch was necessary to make Ctrl-g work in endless loops.
I assume if you're trying something like (while t nil) followed by C-j
then emacs will loop and you can't interrupt.
Klaus
